Damsel

The Western comedy ‘Damsel’ sees Robert Pattinson play Samuel Alabaster - an idealistic pioneer whose romantic rescue mission quickly spirals into absurdity and self-deception.

The 2018 movie follows Samuel’s journey across the American frontier to reunite with his fiancée Penelope (Mia Wasikowska), only to reveal that she may not need - or want - rescuing at all.

As his journey unfolds, Samuel’s romanticised notions unravel, revealing a satirical twist on the classic damsel-in-distress narrative.
